Jeff & Vida back in August-September '09

Jeff Burke and Vida Wakeman, from New Orleans but now based in Nashville, TN, will be back in Ireland this year in late summer/early autumn. Regular and indefatigable favourites on the festival and gig circuits for seven or eight years now, they will be appearing (according to the present state of the schedule) at Barry's, Grange, Co. Sligo, on 14 August; at the Crane Bar, Galway, on 21 August; and at the Dunmore East (28-30 August) and Omagh (5-6 September) bluegrass festivals. They will then spend the rest of September in Britain, where they will be touring with the Carrivick Sisters.
